Highlights
  • Parque Nacional Volcán Arenal - Part of the trail around the Arenal Volcano features patches of regenerating forest that were originally affected by ancient eruptions. With a little luck, this 1.5 km (1 mi) trail will provide us with the opportunity to see a wide variety of plants and birds that inhabit the rainforest, like toucans, turkeys, orioles and sometimes peccaries and snakes. At the end of the tour our driver will be waiting for us with a delicious snack of tropical fruit before returning to your hotel in La Fortuna.
